Overview
A retuned reed layout gives the Hohner PentaHarp the minor pentatonic scale plus the blue note, so learners can play blues scales without bending. It uses an ABS comb and recessed reed plates from an established beginner design.
Skipping years of bending practice gets new players soloing quickly. The special tuning does not suit standard major-key songs.
Who it's for
Guitarists and new harmonica players who think in the blues scale. Folk players needing standard tuning should buy a regular diatonic.
Pros and cons
- Blues scale without bending
- Three complete scales
- Consistent blow-draw pattern
- Comfortable ABS comb
- Not for major-key tunes
- Single key only
Performance notes
The tuning places the blues scale across the holes with no change in breathing pattern, so runs feel even. Recessed reed plates and the comb shape govern comfort against the lips.
